Strawberry Banana Smoothie Without Yogurt
Servings 2 servings
This strawberry banana smoothie without yogurt is super simple to make with milk, frozen strawberries and bananas. It has a thick and creamy texture just like any other smoothie, so you don't even miss the yogurt! Easy, kid-approved and delicious! {Gluten-free and dairy-free-friendly}
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 large overripe banana
- 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. For the best taste, serve immediately.
Notes
- Use an overripe banana with brown spots for best results. Since this smoothie is naturally sweetened with fruit and uses no added sugar, you’ll want to maximize the sweetness by using a sweet overripe banana.
- If you don’t have a very high-power blender: I recommend purchasing fresh strawberries and slicing them into quarters before freezing to make them easier to break down.
- To help prevent burning out your blender: I typically like to start by placing 1 cup of the frozen strawberries into the blender along with the banana, milk and vanilla. Blend until broken down and then add the remaining frozen strawberries to the mixture and blend until smooth.
- If your strawberries aren’t very sweet: You may wish to add a bit of honey or maple syrup to taste. If you want to avoid added sugar and prefer to stick to a natural sweetener, you can also add in 1-2 pitted dates and pulse until smooth and creamy. It’s a great way to add some extra natural sweetness to the smoothie and you can't even taste the dates!
